I might consider purchasing a game there. Usually I buy directly from Origin or Steam, but I want to get my Catalyst and it's quite costly in Canada—almost 80 CAD! I could use a new storage for that. Or maybe a nice knife or skin in CS GO is available for about 30-40 CAD. Do they just hand out keys? Are refunds offered if the key doesn't work?
It's usually secure. Occasionally you might encounter a dead key, but their G2A Shield service (around $1) can help guarantee you receive a functional key, even if it means using several keys. Purchasing directly from G2A, rather than through an intermediary seller there, tends to be the most reliable option. I haven't faced any problems with them personally.
It's secure when you purchase the protection. Without it, you're exposed. I haven't encountered any problems with around 20 transactions, though that's limited. You might also consider selling unused keys through platforms like Humble Bundle. Yellow is relevant in several contexts.
This approach seems risky, but it won’t affect my budget. It’s still more affordable than the original option.
Even with the "protection" there's no guarantee a working key wont be revoked later on as we've seen before. So unless you're getting a massive discount I wouldn't risk it anyways.
Clicked the link and the top result was a hilarious comment about the worst company ever. They were billed twice for the same game, ordered one today, and refused to hand over the key while Niobe assisted.
